Zoning

The Zoning Department provides administrative and technical support to the Zoning Board of Appeals (ZBA), as well as guidance to property owners and applicants.

The Zoning Department manages and coordinates petition-related activities, provides information to the public about the required procedures, and assists applicants with the process of submitting applications or appeals to the ZBA.

For assistance regarding any matters involving the ZBA please contact the Administrative Clerk.
